(problems at school with the other children, cause they saw me like a freak; I see myself not special. I had always felt the refuse.)<br />My eye doctor told me at 14, that I could have surgery nearly my 20's anniversary.<br />I'm now 25 and I can't have the surgery because my sight is getting worse and worse. <br />but i'm a little glad: I can read, sew and see the face of my lovely boyfriend and my family.Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404103216611073113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-79967168706343406702009-09-27T19:08:31.452-05:002009-09-27T19:08:31.452-05:00I am so happy you have found a way to enjoy books ...I am so happy you have found a way to enjoy books again.

If you look at my blog you can click on Good Reads on my side bar and that will take you to my page. There you can see all the books I've read and it's a great place to find other recommendations based on what you like to read. Hope that helps.

Margaret George authors come good ones (with lots of pages :D): "The Autobiography of Henry VIII," "Mary Queen of Scotland...," and some others. Then there is Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End." For a non-fiction, "John Adams" was quite good.<br /><br />Enjoy and congratulations!!Ivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028377095759415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-10335067566665916002009-09-26T19:49:14.054-05:002009-09-26T19:49:14.054-05:00I am so glad this story had a happy ending.
